temperature. If the ambient temperature is
below 75 deg. F, proceed as follows.
•
Start the Tractor Engine and switch the RoboMax
System Power ‘ON’ .
•
Allow the Hydraulic Pumps to operate and circulate
oil through the system, until the normal oil operating
temperature is indicated on the temperature read-out
on the Control Panel Screen.
•
Place the System in ‘manual’ mode.
Using the Manual Control Levers, at the rear left side of the
